Queer Things in Mexico.

1t seems queer to purchase sage for
the dressing of fowl at the apotheca-
ry shops, to which one must also go
for soda for cooking. Shoe stores do
not have shoe-horns in stock. but you
are referred from them to the hardware
stores. An apothecary does not sell
whole packages; that is, You cannot
buy bottle of patent medicine at
your apothecary's, but must go to a
wholesale drug store. Rope takes the
place of nails in temporary structures,
and carpenters or masons erect stag
ings tied with cord for their work, and
it is rare that one of these stagings
falls, the cord making stronger COM
bination than nails. This is an idea
that might be copied in the States

NapOleon's Legacy TO France.

Between 1904 and 1915 he had
slaughtered more than 1,700,000
Frenchmen born within the boundaries
of ancient France, to which must be
added, probably, 100000 of men
born out of these limits, and all for
him, under the title of allies, or slain
on his account under the title of enc
mics. All that the poor, enthusiastic,
and credulous Gauls have gained by
confding their public welfare to him is
two invasions; all that be be Iueaths to
them as reward for their devotion,
after this prodigious waste of their
blood and the blood of others, is a
France shorn of fifteen departments
acquired by the republic, deprived of
Savoy, the left bank of the Rhine, and
of Belgium, despoiled of the northeast
angle by which it completed its bound
aries, fortified its most vulnerable
point, and, usi G the words of Nauban,
made the field square," losing 5000
600 of new Frenchmen which it had
assimilated after twenty years OF life
in common; and, worse still, thrown
back within the frontiers of 1889,
alone. diminished in the midst of its
aggrandized neighbors, suspected by
all Europe, and lastingly surrounded
by a threatening circle of distrust and
rancor.-Nelc Princeton ReUteW.

An Assessors Arithmetic.

There is certain Township Asses
sor who valued tract of ten acres for
taxation at 81 900. The valuation had
not been changed for score of years.
At length one acre was sold to a stran-
ger for 81, 900. The following year the
assessor valued the single acre at 81, 900
and the nine acres which remained in
the original holders possession were
valued at 5000. The assessor then
claimed that the one-acre plot, being
then sold for $1,000, he was required
to value it at that sum, but that the
nine acre plot having been diminished
by one-tenth should be valued at one
tenth less. Trenton Emporium.

MOnOnOlieS.

Monopolies have existed from the
creation of the world. Didn't Adam
have q monopoly on garden truck :?
Yes, and he was able to monopolize
the cider business, having a corner on
apples. Noah had monopoly on the
carrying trade during forty days and
forty nights, enabling him to plant a
vineyard with the proceeds and embark
in the native wine business, monopo-
lizing that for time. Job worked up
a corner on boils very successfully,
and Lots wife put everything she had
into salt. Goliath carried everything
with high hand until Dayid intro
duced him to sling of which he had
a monopoly, that went to his head and
tioored him.
Methuselah had monopoly in the
oldest inhabitant business, and Samson
monopoli ed the hair trade, until a
woman named Delilah cut him ont. He
was the first to go into the stencil bus
mess, stamping foxes tails with brands
of fire. So ONION monopolized nearly
all the wisdom of his time, though he
couldn't have done it had Gath" been
alive. Pharaoh's daughter may not
have had monopoly in the milk bust
ness, though it is on record that she
got great prophet out of water. st.
Paul had monopoly in many things
until Minneapolis started up, and so it
goes.
1t will be seen by the above that the
monopolist is by no means of modern
origin. If Jay Gould wants the earth
he had prototype in New Testament
history. who, being on a high noun
tain. thought he owned it, but he found
out his mistake.-Ttrds Sittiags.

A Difficult Question,

III would be interesting to the lis
tener to see the applicants who have
responded to the call of placard that
las been in Washington street win
dow for several days-"An American
Boy Wanted, fifteen years old"--and
10 hear the cross-questioning which the
hrm must have had to do in order to
determine whether the applicants were
genuine American boys or not. The
functionary charged with this inquisi-
ton must have found it very difficult
sometimes to draw the line If the
iirm simply wanted boy that was
born In this country, the distinction
made in the advertisement was hardly
necessary, since nine out Of ten of the
applicants would in all probability have
been native Americans, though they
might have responded to patronymics
from all the nations of Europe; and it
would have been an eaAy matter to sift
out and reject those who, from their
foreign birth, might not be good in
their English or familiar with the ways
OF American customers. But if the
firm meant by an American boy" de-
scendant of the original inhabitants of
the country, q simon-pure Yankee, it
would have been necessary to go
through quite a catechizing. One can
imagine bright-looking youth stand
ing with his hat in his hand while the
representative of the firm examines
him:
What is your name?"
Jeremiah Sullivan"
"Humph! Where were you born?"
I'm Boston, SIR"
Where was your father born?'
"In Boston"
Where was your grandfather
born?"
I'm Ireland"
"Oh, 1 thought so. I'm afraid you
won't do. We are after genuine
American boy"
The boy departs, wondering how
many generations it will take to make
his descendants genuine Americans.
On the osher hand one can imagine
a foreign-looking boy with a faltering
way, applying to the same firm with
the remark:
"My parents have been rich, sir, but
they have lost all their money, and
have got to go to work. They have
always lived abroad, but I'm an
American"
whats your name?"
John Alden"
"A good American name, surely.
Where were you born? ?"
an Paris"
"Been in this country long?"
1.-TWO years, sir.
well, You seem to be a genuine
American boy, and we'll give you
trial"
The difficulties of the firms position,
in being called upon to settle the ques-
ton, what is and what is not an Amer
lean boy, must be very great

Why the Russians Did Not Take Con.
stantlnOplc.

The Par.s correspondent Of the Lon
don Times has supplemented the re-
cent disclosures relating to the diplo-
macy of the Russian Turkish war with
a most interesting bit of history. At
the moment when the victorious army
was at the gates of Constantinople
Count Schoul alof' telegraphed to the
late C2ar that England would not re-
sent the occupation of the city if no
attempt were made TO seize Gallipoli
and blockade the ironclads. The Gear
placed unbounded confidence in the
Ambassador in London, and was con-
WINGED by these dispatches that an adj
vance would he safe. Accordingly q
telegram was sent from st. Petersburg
to General Gourkho at San Stefano
ordering the troops to march into Con-
stantinople at once. This dispatch was
in cipher, but it passed through Turk
ish territory and fell under the eyes of
the enemy. Suspecting what were its
contents, the Turks mixed up the
ciphefs in such fashion that when the
Russian commander received it at San
Stefano it was absolutely unintelligible.
General Ignatieff tried for two days to
make out the dispatch, aud finally
asked for detailed instructions. The
British Cabinet meanwhile had been
informed by Musurus Pasha of the
crisis and directed Lord A. Lotus at
st. Petersburg to inform the Car
that the occupation of Constantinople
would be considered bv England a
cause of war. The projected advance
was then abandoned, and General Ig-
natieff was directed to make treaty
with the Porte without oc, upying the
city. DIR. Blowitz vouches for this re-
cital as absolutely authentic. The con-
quest of Constantinople and the over
throw of the Ottoman power in Europe
We're thus prevented by very simple
device.
